Gotcha. Yes, I didn’t get to see the original comment.
I never, at any point, said that only sex mattered in medicine. I said they were distinct. I doubt it was your intention to do so, but you’re putting words in my mouth. Please don’t represent me.
TBF I did state quite explicitly that that was my own interpretation of your statement, not what you had literally said, because I couldn’t think what else you meant by that expression (possibly because of the missing context.)
I apologise for any hurt I have caused and will edit my previous comment, so as not to misconstrue yours.
showing that ‘male’ and ‘female’ are more akin to general groupings, with a degree of overlap, than any actual dichotomy
No worries! Like I said, missing context from the deletion. For the record, they were conflating sex and gender and thinking they were the same thing.
Which, obviously - no, definitely not the same thing, and both are important.
Edited to add: and I completely understand how the lost context can make things more confusing, so seriously, no worries. I just wanted to be clear that was not what I was saying at all.
